To the editor:

In this universe, Newton's law is absolute: Every action has an opposite and equal reaction. This certifies every remedy likely comes with an undesired consequence.

Example: "Don't Ask Don't Tell" government policy for "gays" presumed to make homosexuals more compatible in the military as security risks, and the new military policy bans any legal rejection of homosexuals at all.

But the obvious consequence: The government now infers itself via the military as a conduit for sexual promiscuity. Sexual promiscuity is the only certified conduit for sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and AIDS.

For this reason, the military should consist only of legally married draftees and enlistees, and/or avowed celibates. "Gays," however, tend to reject marriage with its inconvenient sanctions against premarital and extramarital intimacies. To pursue military service, conscientious homosexuals would drop the label "gay" and pursue legal marriage as monogamous and chaste as heterosexual marriage is supposed to traditionally sanction for its membership.

Licentious is a synonym of "gay" and sobriety is an antonym. Public displays of sexual affection are no less objectionable regardless of sexual orientation, but any at all is at least as blatantly distractive as public loud verbals by cell phone users - an exercise in feral behavior.

The biggest irony of all: The military (of any country) purporting to condone love between homosexuals (or heterosexuals for that matter) while tactically informing them how to kill, maim and/or injure other humans in battles and wars set up and committed to by politicians. A supreme paradox.
